Slim chance
Haunting famine you whisper quietly
deprivation a star quality
your limit to score and mark
to cut so deep to find relief
to leach away the little left
scorned, their tongues cut like thorns
society has turned the screw
self loathing measured in the mirrors stare
the world shakes it head but dosen`t care
eaten words a diet to an early death
Anorexia has no respect
deprivation a star quality
your limit to score and mark
to cut so deep to find relief
to leach away the little left
scorned, their tongues cut like thorns
society has turned the screw
self loathing measured in the mirrors stare
the world shakes it head but dosen`t care
eaten words a diet to an early death
Anorexia has no respect

Talking Glass
be quiet, the glass is talking”
whispering reflection
I’m hungry for the truth
not ready to believe
what the mirror has to say to me
a broken masterpiece
a perfect storm
she told herself she was good enough
the mirror smiled
and told her otherwise
I can’t believe what I see
this human being
withered away
but not yet free
the mirror isn’t listening
maybe I’m the one
who’s dead inside
this mirror isn’t broken
I’m just me
and the mirror laughed
whispering reflection
I’m hungry for the truth
not ready to believe
what the mirror has to say to me
a broken masterpiece
a perfect storm
she told herself she was good enough
the mirror smiled
and told her otherwise
I can’t believe what I see
this human being
withered away
but not yet free
the mirror isn’t listening
maybe I’m the one
who’s dead inside
this mirror isn’t broken
I’m just me
and the mirror laughed

Exhausted
Watching body positive media for me is like putting a band aid on a much deeper cut. It's comforting for the moment, but isn't a quick fix.
Trying on a pair of shorts yesterday that were tighter than usual, I still find that I'm triggered deeply by things like this happening. My perfectionist tendencies want to still go haywire. While I didn't fully panic, I still subconsciously was feeling helpless about it.
Hurricane Beryl hit here in Texas and made our power go out. My mom and I share one car, and more than one time, my mom would be gone with it before I even got up....

& it still is...
this is my story
...not a human experience absolute
but it was never about food
or appetite...or lack thereof
it's imperative you understand
no...
it was much more than that
a desperate need for the one damn thing
sorely lacking in my life
something stolen before I knew it was needed
...or that it even existed
an elusive slippery kind of concept
information...without proof
& I could not comprehend...
...something I'd never had
so I created my own version
refusing to eat what I was...
